While another wrote, "That¡¯s so sweet??"

"That's sweet. But people who occupy public spaces thinking that kids won't be a part of it are beyond me. Kids being disrespectful n loud is different from infants wailing due to a change in cabin pressure. It wouldn't hurt having empathy for the child n parents. I hope you had a great flight OP n the little one enjoyed it too," someone said.

Meanwhile, some users questioned the gesture saying, "Please. These are not ¡°manners¡± new parents already are exhausted taking care of their babies, now they are expected to accommodate other flying ¡°babies¡± as well? Do not normalize this. Normalize empathy and understanding. These gestures are not Manners."
